The Oscars Accidentally Used An Image Of A Producer Who’s Still Alive During The “In-Memoriam” Segment

The Best Picture incident wasn’t the only mistake of the night.

Spare a thought for the organizers of the Academy Awards this morning as they reflect on a ceremony that looks set to go down in infamy. On top of the obvious mix-up over who won Best Picture, it was Moonlight not La La Land, there was also a major flub in the "In Memoriam" section.

The annual round-up of those we have lost in the last 12 months featured Hollywood greats such as Carrie Fisher, Gene Wilder, and John Hurt. There was also a mention of costume designer and four-time nominee Janet Patterson, who passed away in October 2016. However, her inclusion was accompanied by a picture of Australian producer Jan Chapman by mistake.
